Sometimes you just can’t make up the HBO news that flows into the offices of HBOWatch. The Entourage Bananas saga began a while back when MTV’s The Challenge star, “Johnny Bananas” sued HBO for using his moniker in their hit series Entourage. Entourage featured a cartoon character to be voiced by Kevin Dillon named, you guessed it – “Johnny Bananas” which is also the nickname used by the MTV star who’s real name is John Devenanzio. John decided to sue HBO over use of the name but just yesterday the New York Superior Court has ruled that Devenanzio filed his claims too late.

I guess we’ll never know if the use of this name truly caused Mr. Devenanzio “unwarranted, unauthorized and unfavorable mention of plaintiff’s name and personality and allusions to plaintiff’s physical and mental character.”

In other news, Adrian Griener tweeted a bit of a teaser reguarding the supposed Entourage Movie that has been confirmed and reconfirmed several times since the series went off the air.

Check it out:

I just talked to Doug Ellin. He mentioned something about an Entourage movie. Would that be something you might be interested in?

We’ll keep you updated on all of the latest news on the upcoming Entourage movie but this will probably be the last time we’ll report on “Johnny Bananas” for some time.

With Eastbound & Down over and another season of Curb being questionable, HBO has recently given us hope that there are big things on the horizon for their comedy series.

They are currently developing a new 30-minute comedy series starring long-time Daily Show correspondent Rob Riggle. The team behind the movie “The Other Guys” is back with Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Adam McKay, and Chris Henchy all set to produce the show. McKay and Henchy wrote the script for Other Guys [...] Continue Reading…

Recently, I’ve noticed just how much I love the way Game of Thrones focuses on non-perfect individuals. Imps, cripples, bastards, and the like are all inspired to be themselves and are quickly becoming some of the most popular characters on the show. Although they are mocked at times, characters like Bran, Tyrion, Arya, and Jon Snow are breaking out and showing us that it’s cool to be a little bit different. Inspired by these unique individuals, over next several [...] Continue Reading…

The Hound: Sandor Clegane

It seems everywhere I go I have to slip Game of Thrones into the conversation whether its with a group of friends or a stranger at the grocery store. I recently ran into a woman who while scanning my items asked me what all the soda and ice cream was for. Unembarrassed and instantaneous I offered gleefully that it was for a Game of Thrones watch party I have with friends every Sunday. Not expecting the [...] Continue Reading…

 Now, I’m not here to preach or to shout out statistics but simply to remind all of us that HBO is hoping the nation becomes aware of a special cause: the obesity epidemic in America. It is doing so via a series of public initiatives that have the support of many including the Institute of Health, the Institute of Medicine, The Center For Disease Control, the health insurer Kaiser Permanente and the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation, which concentrates [...] Continue Reading…

Levi again chimes in with another epic review of Game of Thrones season 2!   Read his review of “The Old Gods and the New” if you haven’t already and follow him on Twitter and check out his vimeo page.

HBO’s GAME OF THRONES is on its way to becoming the number one pirated show in America according to a report from Frobes.

Apparently, our favorite fantasy author just got back from England and Portugal (Lucky!) and took some time today to update his Not A Blog. Among other things, GRRM spoke a little bit about Season Three and dropped a few hints:

There are so many individuals without honor in the world of Game of Thrones that it’s hard to decide who the title of this episode is refering to.  My personal guess would have to be MINOR SPOILER Theon Greyjoy but I’m gussing this episode title is a double, triple or quadrupal ententre for the many characters lacking in tastefulness and manners throughout the world of Westeros (and beyond).  This season’s ratings are holding steady at around 3.8+ million viewers [...] Continue Reading…
